Override plain text wrapping

There are times where, even though a line appears to have a safe break in it, it does not.
For instance, the following link gets split between two lines
http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/very-long-chain-acyl-coa-dehydrogenase-deficiency
Or the following output from a Postgres EXPLAIN query:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM tenk1 WHERE unique1 < 100 AND unique2 > 9000;

Is there a way to over-ride the text wrapping algorithm to force these to appear on a single line? "Paste as Quote" seems to, but having to do that and then remove the leading > seems like an inadequate solution.

  • Plain text signature not wrapping in Apple Mail 8

    Hello all,
    I just upgraded to Yosemite and am experiencing a problem with Mail 8. I have a text based signature that I used on my business email. I created it in text edit, converted to plain text and then pasted into the Signatures pane. I have the option selected of: "Always match my default message font".
    When creating a new message, or responding to a message, the signature content is not wrapping, causing the window to be about 6 times wider than my screen width. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    Thanks,

    UPDATE: Deleting and recreating the signature solved the problem.

  • Thunderbird, enable wrap plain text messages at 72 characters.

    Hello!
    I would like to have Thunderbird to wrap my messages at 72 characters. It was possible earlier, but with the 3.0B1Pre it doesn't do it.
    In <Preferences - Composition>, there is something called 'Wrap plain text messages at [ 72 ] characters'. There is no check box to enable it.
    Is it possible to enable this feature? Have searched around a bit, without any luck.

  • Text wrapping in code view

    In Preferences, I have checked the option Automatic wrapping

  • Text wrap in anchored objects

    In order to place text boxes relative to the spine, I have placed them as anchored objects.
    But now, these text frames do not respect text wrap setting from objects outside of the anchored object.
    I have made sure that ignore text wrap in text frame options is not checked.
    Is this a bug?
    And does anyone know a workaround?

    In order to make my design indifferent to later added pages, I have placed all text frames and graphic placeholders as anchored objects, positioning them relative to spine.
    When I now place an object on top of such an anchored text frame, text wrap is not working, even if i overide the master page item.
    The only work around I have found is to copy the respective text frame and make the original master page item unvisible.
    Is there not another way to to this?
    For me, the best would be another way of placing text and graphic frames relative to spine.
    Bus as soon as one overrides the master page item, the object is not placed anymore relative to spine if another page is inserted.

  • CS4 Text Wrap issue - HELP!

    HELP!  I taught myself PageMaker 6.5 and I got REALLY good at the basics, but not so great at the in-depth things.  Consequently, when I upgraded to InDesign CS4, the same holds true, so please feel free to treat me like a 2-year-old in your explanations.  Now for my dilemma:
    I create a quarterly magazine.  Most of the pages are 2- or 3-column spreads.  Many times, a photograph (and its caption) will span more than just one column, but not necessarily the entire width of two.  In other words, my photo could span all of column 1 and 1/2 of column 2, with the text flowing to the right of the photograph, then expanding to fill all of column no. 2 beneath it.  In PageMaker, when I text-wrapped around the pic, leaving enough bottom text wrap to insert my captioning, the text would wrap perfectly, keeping the text in perfect alignment horizontally across the columns.  That, in turn, kept the bottom edge of all my columns exactly equal. 
    In InDesign, however, that's not the case. The text doesn't align equally horizontally across the columns, hence ruining my clean horizontal text margin at the bottom.  This happens any time I have a photo that spans all of one and part of one (or two, in the case of a centered photograph) column.  In fact, even if I place a photo that fits within just one column, the horizontal text alignment gets screwed up.  I'm attaching a .pdf of page 35 of the issue I'm working on to show you what I mean.
    I've tried choosing all three columns and clicking the "align top edges," but that just drags all three columns up to the 1/2 inch margin at the top of the page, and my text actually starts 1/4" beneath that (3/4" from the top page edge) because of the page numbering, and when I drag all three columns back down to the 3/4" mark, the wrapping gets all screwed up again.  So I tried "align bottom edges," and that didn't work either (it worked to a point... anything that actually had text flowing to the bottom of the column was fine, the same thing occurred then above the column with a photo spanning all of it.  Geez, I'm confused just trying to explain it.  Hopefully, the attached .pdf will help make sense of this.  
    Consequently, I'm moving columns manually for this issue (all 60 pages of it), because it has to be at the printers by the end of the weekend and I'm just plain out of time.  If anyone can give me some guidance so I don't have to do this again next time, I'd really appreciate it.
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas. Thanks for your help.
    Barb

    Thanks so much to both Peter and Bob.  I'm sure this will fix the problem.  At least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong and it really is a glitch in the program.  I'll play with the baseline grid, since it seems that will be the best option. I have a few months to experiment with it before the next issue goes to press.
    Does setting a preference act like a default?  In other words, will it then apply to all pages in all new documents I create or is it specific to the document in which I'm working when I set it? If the latter, I'm guessing I can just include it when I set up my master page so it will apply throughout the issue?  Which, of course brings me to yet another question: how do I save my Master Pages so I don't have to redo them with each issue?
    I'm finding that the majority of InDesign is a lot more user-friendly and easier to navigate than the old PageMaker -- many fewer steps for the same end result.  I hope to take a class if I can find one in my area, because I'm certain I'm doing many things the "hard way."  Learning as you go is okay, but you miss a lot of the finer points along the way and spend entirely too much time trying to figure things out or bugging people like you in this forum.
    I apologize if some of what I ask seems rather elementary. 
    And Scott, sorry, but I've always felt that, out of all the fonts available, Comic Sans is the most readable.

  • Text wrap on Master Page items

    RE:  InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
    Hello,
    I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them.  However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics.  (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.)  I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it.  But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
    Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

    Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.

  • Outlook 2010 "Send Plain text only" not working for individual contacts

    We have a Outlook 2010/Exchange 2007 environment
    If you go to Outlook Properties of a contact and change from "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" to "Send Plain text only", it is supposed to force Outlook to send a Plain text
    email
    to that contact. 
    But it is still sending HTML.  This is happening with any contact I try this with.
    While composing the email I can change it to Plain text manually and that works fine.
    Not sure what gives...

    Hi,
    I recommend that you check the global remote domain setting if set to send plain text.
    If not , the remote domain setting will override the change of the contact's properties when sending email out. 
    More details refer to the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232174(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Remote domain settings   Remote domains define the settings for outgoing message transfers between the Exchange 2010 organization and domains outside the Active Directory forest. Even if you don't create remote domain entries
    for specific domains, there's a predefined remote domain named Default that applies to all remote address spaces (*).
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

    I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
    I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
    Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
    It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
    1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
    2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
    Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
    I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
    Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

    I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

  • How can I export a mailbox of messages as plain text?

    I have a mailbox filled with correspondence from a colleague. About 150 messages in all, some with attachments. I'd like to print out all the messages in that folder but not one at a time. I was hoping to be able to save them all as plain text and convert them to a PDF for two-sided printing. Examining individual messages in Text Wrangler, I see that they are all XML-based messages and, so, filled with XML codes. Is there any simple way to convert or export these without manipulating each individual message?
    Yes, I could print each message individually, but that's going to take a long time and waste a lot of paper.
    robert

    Select the messages. Choose File > Save As…. You'll get a pop-up menu to select Rich Text, Plain Text, or Raw Source.
    If you choose rich text or plain text, the messages will appear in TextEdit as if they run together. Select Format > Wrap to Page, and you will see each message starts a new page.

  • Putting both xml document and plain text in to the same container

    I have some configuration files written in plain text with the format 'key' = 'value'
    I want to put them into the same container with my xml document, is this possible?
    thanks

    Hi,
    yes it is. There are a couple of ways:
    1) Wrap into some XML tags and put your settings as an XML document (bad way)
    2) Use metadata of documents. You can store your plain text as metadata associated with some XML document. Also you can store a document only with metadata (i.e. with empty XML content).

  • Preview pane no text wrapping and scrollbars missing, and how to copy corrected settings to other folders/make default?

    Hi, (this may be in the 353 items thrown up on a search of Mozilla support, but there seems to be a relevance/sort issue.)
    I don't want thunderbird to take up my whole screen. There are some problems when using a smaller window:
    1. TEXT NOT WRAPPING IN PREVIEW PANE: can you please advise the settings to make the text automatically wrap to the preview pane width? It goes off the edge. I don't want to have to scroll to see it or make my preview pane bigger. (I did this ages ago and need to do it again as I had to rebuild TB)
    3. COPY CUSTOM VIEW SETTINGS FOR ONE FOLDER TO OTHER FOLDERS OR SET AS DEFAULT: can you please advise instructions how to do this? (So I can apply my corrected settings to all other folders views!)
    2. DONE: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SCROLL BARS IN PREVIEW PANE: (I solved this, this is for readers with the same problems!) The scrollbars will not show if the toolbars at the top of the preview pane are wider than the pane. (I think this is called a bug.) Workaround:
    (a) maximise thunderbird window/widen the preview pane to show all the buttons across the top of the preview pane.
    (b) click the x on the redundant navigation toolbar to remove from preview pane. (you can put all these buttons on the mail toolbar at the top of the whole window- click view, toolbars to show it).
    (c) right click on one of the reply/forward etc icons at the top of the preview pane. Click customise. select icons only.
    (d) resize the width of your preview pane to desired width, which can be quite narrow as long as it is wider than the toolbar (you'll see the scrollbar disappear when its too narrow).
    Thanks!

    '''re: Flowed text.'''
    Very odd you do not auto have this as it is usually set as default.
    check settings:
    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab
    Click on 'config Editor' button
    it will tell you to be careful :)
    In top search type: flow
    look for the following line:
    * mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support; Value = false
    * If it says 'True', double click on the line to toggle 'True' to 'False'
    If you send plain text and want it Flowed text then check this line as well
    * mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed; Value = true
    * If it says 'False', double click on the line to toggle 'False' to 'True'
    Close config Editor window - top right X
    click on OK to save changes to Options.

  • Updated to 5.0 now copy to plain text not there; is there workaround?

    I updated today to Firefox 5.0 at the urging of Mozilla and---as warned before updating---copy to plain text is not available for this Firefox release. I assume that the developer of this addon will eventually update it but in the meantime because of the kind of work I do I really need either an alternative that will work with Firefox 5.0 or a work around that will allow the addon to work with 5.0. Hopefully nothing too complicated as I am not a power user or tech expert. The availability of Copy to plain text is one of the main reasons I use Firefox 90% of the time on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

    I assume 'copy to plain text' is an extension that stopped working due to compatibility issues.
    You can try this extension, it overrides compatibility issues:

  • Text Wrapping Fault in Outlook for Mac 2011

    Hi!  My Outlook 2011 for Mac refuses to wrap text when I'm writing emails.  I looked online, and on this site, but couldn't find any solutions.  Manually adding line breaks is a mess, so does any one know of a way to fix this?  I'm sure there's just some setting I'm missing. 
    Thanks

    Outlook for Mac introduces format=flowed formatting for plain text messages. This is similar to HTML, which by nature wraps only when it reaches the right edge of the window.
    Format=flowed means that plain text messages are no longer wrapped around the 80th character. This makes reading messages much cleaner on different size devices like iPhones or iPads. Messages are rewrapped automatically by the receiving application rather than the sending application.
    This feature cannot be turned off.
    Hope this helps! Thank you
